STORAGE

Prepare your chipper-shredder for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

WITH FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK INSIDE

,_ WARNING: NEVER STORE MACHINE

OF BUILDING WHERE FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK, OR

WHERE IGNITION SOURCES ARE PRESENT SUCH AS HOT WATER AND SPACE HEATERS, FURNACES, CLOTHES DRYERS, STOVES, ELECTRIC MOTORS, ETC.

NOTE: A yearly check-up by your local Sears Service Center is a good way to make certain your chipper- shredder will provide maximum performance for the next season.

CHIPPER-SHREDDER

Clean the chipper-shredder thoroughly.

Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust (use a light oil or silicone).

ENGINE

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL

OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARA- TION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STOR- AGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYS- TEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

Drain the fuel tank.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor- age container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbure- tor if using fuel stabilizer.

Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be done after the engine has been operated and is still warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.

If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the inside of the engine as follows. Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (approximately one table- spoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oi!. Replace spark plug.

OTHER

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coating with a light oil or silicone.

SERVICE & ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: ALWAYS STOP ENGINE AND DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE AND MOVE IT AWAY FROM SPARK PLUG

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ADJUST- MENTS OR REPAIRS.

REMOVING THE FLAIL SCREEN

If the discharge area becomes clogged, remove the flail screen and clean area as fo!lows.

Stop the engine, make certain the chipper-shredder has come to a complete stop and disconnect spark

plug wire from the spark plug before unclogging the chute.

Loosen the two hand knobs on each side of the chute deflector. Lift the chute deflector up, and tie it out of the way.

Remove two hairpin clips from the clevis pins which extend through the housing. Remove the clevis pins. Lift the flail screen from inside the housing. See figure 18.

Clean the screen by scraping or washing with water. Reinstall the screen.

NOTE: Be certain to reassemble the flail screen with the curved side down as shown in figure 18.
